and our own Jamie Pollard ranks 5th in the Big 12

I came across some interesting figures that the Bloomberg News Service compiled earlier this year about salaries for athletic directors at FBS schools (hat tip to Brett McMurphy of the Tampa Tribune).

The most interesting nugget I found in the story was that Big 12 athletic directors are the top paid of any conference in the nation.
The 11 Big 12 athletic directors Bloomberg News Service was able to obtain through filing public records requests with each public university indicated that

Big 12 athletic directors averaged a salary of $470,783.
That figure was $29,506 higher than the average salary of the Big Ten's athletic directors, which was $29,506 per school lower.

Kansas- $900,000
Oklahoma- $700,000
A&M- $690,000
Texas- $627,109
Iowa State- $378,560
Ok State- $377,396
Tech- $365,000
Colorado- $297,709
K State- $294,466
Missouri- $287,375
Nebraska- $261,000

Big 12 athletic directors ranks as highest paid among FBS - Big 12 - ESPN
